Cambodia: Secret Draft Cybercrime Law seeks to undermine free speech online DIGITAL 5 MIN READ ARTICLE 19 ARTICLE 19 is deeply concerned about Cambodia’s Draft Cybercrime Law, which falls well below international standards on the rights to freedom of expression, information and privacy. If passed in its current form, there is a serious risk that Cambodia’s currently free online space will backslide into the country’s deep-seated culture of secrecy and self-censorship.
